Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1943

Erica's mother, Barbara Mathis, was a hopeless romantic.

Erica had grown up hearing the love story between Barbara and Hunter.

Even years later, people still talked about it, but now, their words dripped with mockery.

Barbara knew she'd screwed up. She'd sworn to cut ties with the Houstons to be with Hunter, who was a bodyguard back then.

She thought it was a fairy-tale romance, but it was just a youthful rebellion.

Hunter was good-looking, with sharp features and soulful eyes. When Erica was little, her parents got along well.

But over time, Hunter's true colors showed. He used Barbara's status to gain power, money, and control of the Mathis Group.

Then he started living it up, doing things like partying and cheating. When Barbara caught him, he'd beg for forgiveness at first. But soon, he cut her off from the outside world.

Eventually, he was brazen enough to bring women home. They mocked and humiliated Barbara.

Erica and Barbara struggled through those days.

Barbara tried to escape, but Hunter beat her to death.

For the crime he committed, he had lived in constant fear. If the Houstons discovered the truth, he was done for.

He panicked, but it was too late.

When Caleb sent people to surround the Mathis Mansion, they found Erica hiding in a cupboard.
